Tasting note

品飲筆記：這支來自Oakville的經典拼配，黑莓與黑醋栗果實濃郁，上桌立刻能感受到黑巧克力、濃咖啡與些許石墨氣息。橡木帶來香草與烘焙香料，口中飽滿且層次分明，單寧結實但打磨得宜，餘韻厚實悠長。 酒莊與生產：雙鑽石（Double Diamond）為酒莊的高階拼配系列，強調產區表現與陳年潛力。酒款以Oakville優質園區果實為主，採小量分批處理，每一箱果實都經過嚴格挑選，目標是保留果香純淨與深度。 釀造與陳年：分批發酵並採用延長浸皮以抽取結構與色澤，陳年於優質法國橡木桶，帶來明顯但融合的烘烤與香草感。裝瓶前複合調和，讓酒體既有力量也能隨時間舒展。 葡萄園環境：生長於排水良好的Oakville土壤，日間溫暖、夜間涼爽，有助於果實累積濃郁風味與成熟單寧。葡萄園以限產管理、人工採收為主，保證果粒成熟一致與品質穩定。整體口感飽滿、適合搭配炭烤紅肉或靜待陳放慢慢開展。

Tasting note: A dense Oakville expression—ripe blackcurrant and cassis lead, followed by blackberry compote, dark chocolate and espresso notes. Savory graphite and cedar emerge on the mid-palate, with vanilla-spice from well-integrated oak. The palate is concentrated and full-bodied, with firm structured tannins and a layered, long finish. Producer notes: From Schrader Cellars’ Double Diamond program, this proprietary red is built for power and longevity. Fruit is sourced from select Oakville sites, with meticulous selection in the cellar and small-lot handling to preserve purity and depth. Winemaking notes: Fermented in small batches with careful extraction to balance intensity and structure. Extended maceration and maturation in premium French oak (notable new oak influence) deliver plush mid-palate texture and savory oak complexity. Bottled after careful blending to showcase Oakville concentration and age-worthiness. Vineyard notes: Grapes come from warm, well-drained Oakville soils where daytime heat and cool nights promote ripe phenolics and concentrated flavors. Vines are managed for lower yields and hand-harvested to ensure optimal ripeness and tannin maturity.
